A real CPM schedule
Plain-language scope becomes a critical-path schedule you can open in Primavera P6
(.xer), Microsoft Project, or as a Gantt — with 11×17 print-ready PDFs.
Invite-only beta · free during beta
Need a CPM schedule but don't have a scheduler?
Describe the job in plain English — get a logic-linked CPM schedule, ready for
your review, in minutes. Primavera P6 (.xer) and MS Project
ready, run against DCMA-style checks, with a Basis of Schedule.
What it does
A schedule workspace — from first draft to monthly update
The schedule is the job before it's built. Describe yours in plain language and Big State AI returns a working CPM schedule with the documentation a reviewer expects — then helps you keep it current, month after month.
Documentation, written for you
Every schedule ships with an auto-documented Basis of Schedule and a plain-language narrative — the story of the job, already written down.
Update it monthly
Mark progress, move the data date, preview the reforecast, and export the owner's package — look-ahead views, an executive summary, and a field-ready progress sheet. Set a baseline and see slip at a glance.
Quality checks built in
DCMA-style health checks — open ends, constraints, float, logic — with one-click fixes. Your judgment stays the final word.
How it works
Three steps, start to export
Describe the project
Tell Big State AI about the job in plain English — or start from your own estimate spreadsheet. Scope, milestones, the constraints you already know.
Generate the draft
It builds a draft CPM schedule plus the Basis of Schedule and narrative to go with it, run against DCMA-style health checks.
Review, revise, export
Adjust durations and logic — a built-in assistant answers questions as you go — then export to Primavera P6, MS Project, or a Gantt for your team.

Real schedules, real documents
Generated by Big State AI from fictional scopes — watermarked as a first draft
for scheduler review. Every package also includes the native Primavera P6
(.xer) and MS Project (.xml) files.
Real schedules, four kinds of work
The reports that come with them
One coherent package for the commercial warehouse above — the documentation generated alongside the schedule, and the monthly update that keeps it current.
A professional first draft — not the final word
Big State AI produces a professional first draft. Activities, logic, durations, and dates are generated from your inputs plus assumptions and exclusions — not all of which appear in the output.
It's not a certified deliverable — every schedule needs review and certification by a qualified scheduler before any use or submission. P6 remains the authority on calculated dates. We build that into the product on purpose — it's how good schedules get made.
Who's behind it
Built by a project controls professional
17+ years of Primavera P6 baselines, with PMP and PSP certifications. Our founder learned the craft from mentors who drew schedules on paper and ran the forward and backward pass by hand; that hand-me-down judgment is what Big State AI encodes.
Who it's for
Built for the builder without a full-time scheduler
The $1M–$50M contractor is underserved by enterprise scheduling tools. Big State AI gives your team a fast, defensible starting point — so a qualified reviewer spends their time validating a draft, not building one from scratch.
